Filth Interview :: Zoo Brazil

Filth Interview:: ZOO BRAZIL

Bringing an altogether more underground sound to East London, Northern party providers, Filth, return to the capital city to fire up a healthy dose of European house and techno! With Ibiza favorites SIS (performing a live set) and Zoo Brazil flying in to rock the CDJ's hard, a sprinkling of both local and Filth resident DJs, plus an awesome London party vibe, get your dancing shoes on for one of the only proper parties to hit Shoreditch this winter!

Zoo Brazil appears as part of an exclusive DJ set for the launch of Filth, London, featuring their much loved twisted house and techno sounds that has been brought to the world's ears via European favored outputs such as Booka Shade's Get Physical label and Marc Romboy's Systematic imprint. With remixes appearing over recent years for prestigious record labels like Wall of Sound, 2020 Vision, Music For Freaks and the now defunct Paper Recordings, their solid and defined DJing sound has been honed to devastating effect over a seven year period of music making and touring the world. House music stalwart Zoo Brazil is joined by this years hype name of Ibiza techno, SIS, fresh from producing recent club stormers, 'Trompeta', and 'Nesrib'. This summer has seen SIS's music caned right across Europe and Ibiza, gaining further support from Pete Tong/Radio 1 with 'Trompeta' recently winning the prestigious 'Essential New Tune' spot. With DJs across the board in support of such fine new music, it's no wonder the likes of Ricardo Villalobos and Luciano have been such staunch supporters of everyone's favorite new German producer, SIS.

Headliners Zoo Brazil and SIS are joined by The Hustle (Maximal/Pacha) and Phil Divine (Immaculate Touch) plus the Filth resident team, including Danny Savage, Little Bastard and Dan Howells, showing London what a real warm-up and post-headline extravaganza set should sound like! With their finely tuned variety of dirty beats, growling baselines and bouncing, bleepy synth lines, you'll be greeted by a plethora of house and techno aural delights from 10.30pm until 9am, in one of Shoreditch's coolest clubs.
